CURRIE'S LAWN GRASS SEED 



PRODUCES A RICH, THICK, VELVETY 

 LAWN IN SIX WEEKS 



A BEAUTIFUL LAWN and HOW to MAKE IT 



It is universally conceded that nothing contributes so 

 much to the beauty and attractiveness of the Home Grounds, 

 the Park and the Cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich-green, 

 well-kept lawn, which, to be perfect and a pleasure to walk 

 on, should have a firm yet elastic and carpet-like surface. To 

 secure this, it should therefore be the first consideration in 

 laying out or renovating old grounds. 



Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular 

 method of making a lawn, is now almost entirelv superseded 

 by seeding, because of the expense and diflicultv'in obtaining 

 good, clean turf. On the other hand .seeding is not only ine.x- 

 penslve but is in reality the only mean.s of .secnring" a fine 

 and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete success 

 o.T the thoroughnes.« with which the ground is prepared, the 

 quality and quantity of the Seed sown, and the subsequent 

 care of the la'wn. 



Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawn?; and ex- 

 haustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses have 

 demonstrated beyond a doubt that while manv kinds are val- 

 ueless, being too coarse or bunchy or otherwise unequitable, 

 one kind of grass alone can not be relied upon, in our climate, 

 to produce and maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a 



proper combination of Heveral xuitable varieties, Nonn llb- 

 erally, that satisfactory results can be obtained. 



CURRIE'S I,AW>- GRASS MIXTVRKS are the result of 

 years of study and careful observation, and. if our directions 

 are followed in seeding, tliey never fail to produce quickly a 

 thrifty Krowth of fine velvety, rich jrreen graNM, continuous 

 in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a 

 springy, dense, carpet-lite turf and permanently beautiful 

 lawn. 



THE fttAXTITV OF SEED REQl IRED — There is no 

 fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while 

 a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing. 

 A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it may 

 not approach perfection for two or more seasons, according to 

 the quantity of Seed sown. When in a hurry for a fine, close 

 turf, we have frequently sown at the rate of seven bushels of 

 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most gratifying results, but 

 in general the following quantities will produce the best re- 

 sults: 1 quart to 250 square feet; 1 pound to 400 square feet; 

 5 pounds to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds to S.OOO square feet; 

 100 pounds per acre. For renovating old lawns about one-half 

 the above quantities, on the average, is required.
